9 (47)

Accession Undertaking and requests (by referring to the exercise of the drag along right agreed in the shareholders’ agreements and other investment documentation, as applicable, relating to the Company) that they sell their Shares and Option Rights to Buyer under the terms set out in this Agreement, in each case as required to effectively enforce the drag-along rights set out in, as applicable, the shareholders’ agreements and other investment documentation relating to the Company.

(d) Each Seller hereby irrevocably waives and undertakes not to invoke or otherwise exercise any and all first refusal, redemption or similar rights which any of them may have with respect to the Shares or the Option Rights under the shareholders’ agreements or other investment documentation, the articles of association of any Group Company or otherwise in respect of the transfer of the Shares and Option Rights at the Closing.

4. Purchase Price

4.1 Amount and method of payment

(a) The consideration for the purchase of the Shares and Option Rights under this Agreement (the “Purchase Price”) shall be EUR 600,000,000.

(b) The Purchase Price, less any Notified Leakage, shall be paid by Buyer to Sellers on Closing as set out in Section 7.2. For the avoidance of doubt, at Closing, the Purchase Price shall only be paid with respect to the Shares and Option Rights that are actually sold at Closing.

4.2 Leakage

(a) In the event of any Leakage, a Seller (for purposes of any Notified Leakage) or Key Sellers (for purposes of Leakage identified after Closing pursuant to Section 4.2(c)), shall pay to Buyer (or Buyer may deduct from the Purchase Price) an amount equal to any Leakage received by, or made for the benefit of, or at the instruction of such Seller or any of its Affiliates, in accordance with this Section 4.2. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the undertaking of Sellers set out in this Section 4.2(a) does not apply to or limit any Permitted Leakage; (ii) the liability of Sellers or, as applicable, Key Sellers for the purposes of Section 4.2(c) is several and not joint and the liability will be divided among Sellers or, as applicable, Key Sellers in proportion to their entitlement to the Purchase Price provided that, in the case of any Leakage identified after Closing pursuant to Section 4.2(c), Key Sellers shall be responsible for the full amount of such Leakage (in proportion to their entitlement to the Purchase Price); and (iii) Buyer shall not be entitled to recover from any Seller more than once in respect of the same Leakage.

(b) No later than five Business Days before the Closing Date, the Sellers’ Representative shall notify Buyer of any Leakage that the Sellers’ Representative has become aware of, in order for the amount of such Leakage to be deducted from the Purchase Price (on a EUR-by-EUR basis) to be paid on Closing (“Notified Leakage”). In the absence of such notification, there shall be deemed to be no Notified Leakage.

10 (47)

(c) If Closing has occurred, and Buyer thereafter becomes aware of any Leakage other than Notified Leakage, Buyer shall be entitled to require payment of an amount equal to such additional Leakage from Key Sellers, provided that Buyer has delivered a written notice thereof, accompanied by the relevant particulars thereof specifying the nature of the Leakage, the amount required to be paid in respect of such Leakage and such other information as is available to Buyer or the Group Companies and as is reasonably necessary to enable Key Sellers to assess the existence of the Leakage, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event not later than nine (9) months from the Closing Date. Unless disputed, Key Sellers shall pay to Buyer such additional Leakage within 30 Business Days after receipt of Buyer’s written notice.

(d) If the Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of Key Sellers, disputes a notification of Leakage delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 4.2(c) and the Parties in dispute are unable to agree as to whether such Leakage has occurred, or as to the amount thereof, then Key Sellers shall not be obligated to pay to Buyer the amount of such Leakage until the matter has been settled by the Independent Expert appointed by the Parties in dispute. The decision of the Independent Expert shall be final and binding upon the Parties (save for clear and manifest errors in which case the decision shall be remitted to the Independent Expert for correction), and the costs and fees of the Independent Expert shall be borne by the Parties in dispute in such proportions as their claims have been rejected by the Independent Expert (as determined by the Independent Expert). The Parties shall instruct the Independent Expert to (i) determine whether Leakage has occurred and the amount thereof (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not assign a value to any disputed amount greater or lower than the greatest or lowest value claimed by either Party in dispute) and (ii) render its decision, together with a statement of reasons for such decision, within 20 Business Days after the submission of the matter to the Independent Expert. The Independent Expert shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. Key Sellers shall pay to Buyer the Leakage in accordance with the decision of the Independent Expert (if such decision sets forth that Leakage has occurred) within 30 Business Days after the decision of the Independent Expert.

4.3 Allocation

(a) Sellers agree between themselves that the Purchase Price shall be allocated among Sellers in proportion to their holding of Shares and Option Rights set out in Schedule C. Sellers agree that the Purchase Price for the Option Rights shall be equal to the purchase price per Share less the share subscription exercise price of the Option Right in question. The amount payable to a certain Seller shall be reduced by an amount equal to any Notified Leakage that Seller or any of its Affiliates is responsible for pursuant to Section 4.2(a) and any pro rata share of transaction costs pursuant to Section 4.3(c) below (the “Purchase Price Allocation”).

11 (47)

(b) Schedule C sets out the outstanding Shares and Option Rights (and their exercise prices), as well as an illustrative example allocation of the Purchase Price on Shares and Option Rights.

(c) Each Seller shall bear a part of all transaction costs in proportion to its shareholding set out in Schedule C which have been incurred on behalf of a Seller with the consent of the Sellers’ Representative, including, but not limited to, all fees and expenses of investment bankers, advisors, representatives, counsels and accountants. Sellers hereby agree between themselves that the Sellers’ Representative shall, on behalf of all Sellers, pay such transaction costs, and that a portion of the Purchase Price corresponding to such transaction costs (including any VAT) shall be received by the Sellers’ Representative or the paying agent, as applicable (such amount to be specified in a separate item in the funds flow), and each Seller’s share of such transaction costs will be deducted from each Seller’s portion of the Purchase Price that is allocated to such Seller in accordance with Section 4.3(a).

29 (47)

(i) contravene or conflict with, or result in a breach of, any provision of its memorandum or articles of association, by-laws or equivalent constitutional documents or any instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound;

(iii) result in a violation or breach of any applicable Laws.

(e) Other than as required in respect of the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 5.2(a) all consents, permissions, approvals and agreements which are necessary for Buyer to obtain (including consent or approvals of, or notices or antitrust filings to, any governmental, official or regulatory body required) in order to enter into and perform this Agreement and any other documents to be executed by Buyer in accordance with their respective terms have been unconditionally obtained.

(f) There is no legal action or order pending or, to Buyer’s knowledge, threatened against Buyer that seeks to enjoin or otherwise challenge the consummation of the Transaction.

(g) Buyer has secured sufficient and unconditional financing or has available internal funds to enable it to complete the Transaction in a timely manner and to make any payments that Buyer is or may be required to make pursuant to this Agreement.

(h) As at the Signing Date, none of Buyer’s Deal Team Members (as defined in the Insurance Policy) has actual knowledge of any matter, event or circumstance which constitutes a breach of any of the Warranties.

10. Liability and related matters

10.1 Sellers’ liability

(a) Subject to the limitations and allocation of liability among Sellers set forth in this Section 10, each Seller, on behalf of itself only, hereby agrees to compensate Buyer on a EUR for EUR basis for any Loss actually incurred by Buyer or any Group Company as a result of a breach by such Seller, provided that the relevant Seller has failed to remedy (to the extent remediable to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer) the breach within 30 days of receipt of notice to do so pursuant to Section 10.6.2(a) in a manner such that Buyer or any Group Company do not suffer Loss as a result of the breach.

(b) It is expressly agreed that all consequential and indirect losses and costs (save for reasonably foreseeable indirect losses and costs) for Buyer and/or the Group Companies, including, without limitation, loss of business reputation, synergies, business opportunities, revenues, profits or cost savings or any effects on Buyer’s financing arrangements (except to the extent reasonably foreseeable), are excluded from Sellers’ liability under this Agreement.

30 (47)

(c) Any amount payable by a Seller to Buyer as a result of a Claim shall be treated for all purposes as a reduction of the Purchase Price received by such Seller.

(d) Subject to the liability of Key Sellers for Leakage pursuant to Section 4.2(c), the liability of each Seller for any breach of this Agreement is individual and several and not joint and several and each Seller shall be individually and exclusively liable for the Warranties in respect of itself and its Shares and Option Rights and the other covenants and undertakings given by such Seller under this Agreement. With respect to Warranties, covenants and undertakings that are not given in respect of an individual Seller or its Shares or Option Rights, each Seller’s liability shall be pro rata to its portion of the Purchase Price (not taking into account any Leakage). With respect to covenants and undertakings given by the Key Sellers, all Sellers shall be liable for such covenants and undertakings pro rata to their portion of the Purchase Price (not taking into account any Leakage).

10.2 Insurance policy

(a) The Parties acknowledge that Buyer will enter into the Insurance Policy as a replacement for Buyer making claims against Sellers and in order to obtain protection in the event of any breach of the Warranties.

(b) The Parties agree that Sellers shall not, under any circumstances, have any liability towards Buyer, or Buyer be entitled to any remedies or actions whatsoever against Sellers, in respect of the Warranties, irrespective of whether a Loss resulting from a breach of the Warranties would be covered by the Insurance Policy or discovered by Seller prior to Closing (and reflected in the Bring Down of Disclosures), except where a Claim is the consequence of (i) fraud or willful misconduct on the part of such Seller; or (ii) a breach of any of the Fundamental Warranties (in which case the provisions of Section 10.2(c) shall apply). Buyer has determined the scope and terms of the Insurance Policy to be sufficient for the purpose of releasing Sellers from any liability under the Warranties except for as provided for under Section 10.2(c). For the avoidance of doubt, no disclosure that may be included in the Bring Down of Disclosures shall in any way limit Sellers’ liability for breaches of Fundamental Warranties as set forth herein.

(c) With respect to a breach of the Fundamental Warranties by any Seller, or in case of fraud or willful misconduct on the part of any Seller, only such Seller shall be liable to Buyer if and to the extent the Loss resulting from such circumstance is not recoverable under the Insurance Policy. However, Buyer shall in the first instance direct the Claim towards the Insurer and, in case the Claim has not been satisfied in full by the Insurer, only thereafter direct the Claim towards Seller and only in the amount which has not been recovered from the Insurer. For breaches of the Fundamental Warranties by Sellers, Sellers’ liability is, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to the applicable limitations of liability set out in this Section 10.

31 (47)

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, if the Insurance Policy is for any reason terminated or amended by either party thereto, or not becoming effective (wholly or partly) for whatever reason, Buyer shall not have the right to make any Claim against Sellers for compensation for a Loss resulting from a breach of the Warranties other than as expressly set out in Sections 10.2(b)-(c) in relation to a fraud or willful misconduct on the part of a Seller or a breach of any of the Fundamental Warranties.

(e) The Parties acknowledge that Sellers are not a party to the Insurance Policy and that the Insurer is not a party to this Agreement, and that, consequently, neither Sellers nor the Insurer shall have any rights or obligations against each other under this Agreement or the Insurance Policy.

(f) Buyer undertakes to ensure that the Insurer has no right of subrogation against Sellers, except in cases of fraud or willful misconduct on the part of a Seller (and in such case only against such Seller).

(g) The Parties acknowledge that the Insurance Policy covers losses only in excess of the retention amount defined therein, i.e. in the event of a breach of any of the Warranties which results in a compensable loss in accordance with the terms of the Insurance Policy, the retention amount will be deducted from such loss, before Buyer is entitled to compensation from the Insurer under the Insurance Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, but without limiting Sellers’ liability for breaches of Fundamental Warranties hereunder, neither Buyer nor any other person has any right to make any Claims against Sellers regarding any retention amount or deductible under the Insurance Policy.

(h) In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between this Section 10.2 and any other terms and provisions of this Agreement, this Section 10.2 shall prevail.

10.3 No other liability

Sellers have not given, and Buyer has not relied on, any express or implied warranties regarding the Shares, the Option Rights, the Group Companies or their respective businesses other than those contained in Section 8. Sellers’ sole and exclusive liability in respect of the Shares, Option Rights and the Group Companies shall be under the Warranties, and a Seller shall have no other liability in respect thereof based on any warranty or information (whether express or implied), or any other agreement, contract or statute (including under the Finnish Sale of Goods Act (Fi. Kauppalaki 355/1987)), or pursuant to legal principles or theory, or on any other ground. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, Sellers make no warranty to Buyer with respect to, and shall have no liability to Buyer based on, the information memorandum prepared for the Transaction, any management presentation given to Buyer and any financial projection, forecast or other forward-looking statements relating to the Group Companies, regardless of whether such information has been included in the Disclosure Material or not.

10.4 Buyer’s remedy

Sellers’ liability relating to the Transaction shall be exclusively governed by this Agreement. Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for a breach of this Agreement by a Seller is to claim compensation in accordance with Section 10. This remedy shall be exclusive

32 (47)

and it is specifically agreed that no other remedy under the Finnish Sale of Goods Act (Fi. Kauppalaki 355/1987)), pursuant to legal principles or theory or on any other grounds, including (but not limited to) the right to claim damages, withhold payments, to terminate or rescind this Agreement, shall be available to Buyer, provided, however, that the right to seek specific performance and injunction shall not be excluded in the event of a breach by a Seller.

10.5 Sellers’ remedy

Buyer shall as from the Closing Date indemnify and hold each Seller harmless against any Loss actually suffered or incurred by any Seller arising out of or resulting from any breach by Buyer of this Agreement. It is expressly agreed that all consequential and indirect (save for reasonably foreseeable indirect) losses, damages, costs, and expenses for any Seller are excluded from Buyer’s liability under this Agreement.

10.6 Limitation of Sellers’ liability

10.6.1 Monetary limits

(a) In case of a breach of Warranties (other than Fundamental Warranties), no individual Claim, or series of Claims arising from substantially identical facts or circumstances, which is less than EUR 100,000 shall be taken into account when calculating the total amounts of the Claim(s).

(b) In case of a breach of Warranties (other than Fundamental Warranties), Buyer shall not have the right to compensation unless the total amount of all Claims made by Buyer exceeds EUR 1,655,000. If the amount of such Claims exceeds that threshold in the aggregate, Buyer shall have the right to compensation for the amount exceeding such threshold, subject to the other limitations provided in this Section 10.6.

(c) Each Seller’s maximum aggregate liability under this Agreement shall, for any reason whatsoever, be limited to, and can never exceed, the portion of the Purchase Price received by such Seller (not taking into account any Leakage), and with respect to breaches of Section 4.2 (Leakage) be limited as stated in such Section.

(d) Buyer’s right to compensation for (i) the Warranties (excluding the Fundamental Warranties) is limited to, and can never exceed, EUR 50,000,000, and (ii) the Fundamental Warranties is limited to, and can never exceed, the Purchase Price.

10.6.2 Time limits

(a) Except for any Claims that Buyer may direct against the Insurer, any other Claims must be made in writing within 45 Business Days from when Buyer became aware of the circumstances giving rise to a Claim, provided that Buyer’s failure to make the Claim within said timeframe shall not limit the Sellers’ liability hereunder, except to the extent of any actual prejudice to the Sellers resulting from such failure. Claims must be made in writing to Sellers or the Insurer, as applicable, and accompanied by all relevant particulars of the Claim specifying the nature of the alleged breach, the amount claimed in respect thereof, the evidence relied upon by Buyer, and all such other information as is available to Buyer or the Group Companies that is necessary to assess the merits of the Claim.

33 (47)

(b) No Claim will be valid unless presented within 24 months from the Closing Date. However, this time limit shall not apply to Claims for a breach of:

(i) the Fundamental Warranties and Warranties under Section 8.15 (Tax), in which case the applicable time limit shall be 84 months from the Closing Date; or

(ii) breach of other Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, in which case the applicable time limitation shall be six (6) months from the date the relevant obligations has ended.

(c) Any Claim presented under this Agreement which is not covered by the Insurance Policy, if it has not been previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn, shall be deemed to have been withdrawn and no longer recoverable unless arbitral proceedings in respect of the presented Claim have been initiated by Buyer within six (6) months from the date on which the relevant Seller was notified of the Claim.

10.6.3 Duty to mitigate and recovery from third parties

(a) Buyer shall take, and shall procure that the Group Companies take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss in accordance with applicable Laws.

(b) If Buyer or any of the Group Companies has a right to compensation or recovery from any third party (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief or otherwise) relating to a Loss, the Claim that Buyer may make shall be reduced by the amount of such compensation or recovery actually obtained. If such compensation or recovery has been received after Seller(s) have compensated Buyer, Buyer undertakes to refund the amount of such compensation or recovery to Sellers. Buyer shall and shall cause the Group Companies to use reasonable efforts to seek to recover any Loss from any third party to the extent they have a right thereto before steps are taken to enforce a Claim against Sellers.

(c) No liability shall arise in respect of any breach of this Agreement in respect of any Loss, which is actually recoverable under a policy of insurance in force on the Closing Date.

10.6.4 Other limitations

(a) A liability, which is contingent, shall not constitute a Loss recoverable under this Agreement, unless and until such contingent liability becomes an actual liability and is due and payable. However, this Section 10.6.4(a) shall not operate to exclude a Claim made in respect of a contingent liability within the time limits and setting out the particulars as specified in Section 10.6.2.

34 (47)

(b) To the extent there are any corresponding savings by or net quantifiable financial benefits to Buyer or any Group Company arising from a Loss, Sellers shall not be liable for the portion of the Loss that is covered by such saving or benefit. For example, without limitation, if any Loss is a tax deductible item that results in current cash tax savings, any relevant Claim made by Buyer shall be reduced by an amount equivalent to the cash tax savings.

(c) Buyer shall not be entitled to make any Claim to the extent that:

(i) in case of a breach of Warranties (other than Fundamental Warranties), the matter, event or circumstance giving rise to the Claim was Fairly Disclosed in the Disclosure Material);

(ii) the Claim would not have occurred but for any matter or thing done or omitted to be done pursuant to and in compliance with this Agreement or otherwise at the written request or with the written approval of Buyer;

(iii) the same is otherwise actually accounted for and reflected in the Accounts;

(iv) the matter, event or circumstance giving rise to the Claim has actually been made good or has otherwise been actually compensated for without cost or expense to Buyer or any other member of Buyer’s Group;

(v) the Claim relates to a Loss resulting from the passing or amendment of or a change in the official interpretation or application of, any Law or treaty or any administrative practice of any governmental or other regulatory body not in force at the Closing Date, or which takes effect retrospectively; or

(vi) the Claim would not have occurred but for an act, omission or transaction of Buyer or any Person affiliated with, or deriving title from, Buyer (including, without limitation, the Group Companies from Closing), except where the action, omission or transaction constitutes, in all material respects, a continuation of a practice adopted by the Group Companies or the Sellers prior to the Closing.

(d) If a Loss relates to a partly owned Group Company, a Seller shall only be liable for such portion of the Loss that corresponds to the ownership of the capital of such Group Company.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, any Loss resulting from a breach of this Agreement shall be compensable only once.

10.7 Third-Party Claims

(a) If a member of Buyer’s Group becomes aware of any actual or threatened third-party claim, action, demand or matter (“Third-Party Claim”) which may give rise to a Loss for which a Seller may be liable which is not covered by the Insurance

35 (47)

Policy, Buyer shall, and shall procure that the Group Companies shall, provided that Buyer’s failure to take such actions shall not limit the Sellers’ liability hereunder, except to the extent of any actual prejudice to the Sellers resulting from such failure:

(i) promptly notify the Sellers’ Representative, in writing, of such Third-Party Claim;

(ii) not make any admission of liability, or enter into any agreement, settlement or compromise with any third party, in relation to any such Third-Party Claim, without reasonably consulting with the Sellers’ Representative;

(iii) not take any action which may have an adverse effect on any insurance policy under which any such Third-Party Claim would be recoverable if such action had not been taken;

(iv) take any action reasonably requested by Seller(s) to avoid, dispute, resist, appeal, compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim;

(v) give the relevant Seller(s) and their representatives reasonable access to the personnel of Buyer and the Group Companies, and to any relevant properties, premises, accounts, documents and records, and allow the relevant Seller(s) and their representatives to take copies of such relevant accounts, documents and records in order to enable the Seller(s) and their representatives to examine the grounds for the Third-Party Claim, to defend against it and to conduct any litigation resulting from it; and

(vi) at the relevant Seller(s)request and at the relevant Seller(s) cost and expense, allow the relevant Seller(s) (at the relevant Seller(s) option) to:

(A) handle any negotiation, dispute or litigation relating to the Third-Party Claim with any third party and grant the Seller and its representatives all authorizations and assistance as the Seller and its representatives may reasonably require to enable the Seller and its representatives to defend against the Third-Party Claim and to properly conduct any litigation resulting from it except if (i) such Third-Party Claim relates to Taxes or is made by or involves a governmental authority, (ii) involves a significant client, supplier or distributor of a Group Company, or (iii) exceeds the amount or falls below the amount that Buyer may recover from Sellers hereunder, in which case Buyer shall have the right to assume full defence in respect of such Third-Party Claim (it being understood that such assumption of the defence shall not limit the Sellers’ obligation to indemnify Buyer for the costs and expenses relating to such Third-Party Claim pursuant to this Section 10);

36 (47)

(B) participate and give advice in any negotiation, dispute or litigation relating thereto with any third party; and

(C) at the relevant Seller’s discretion, agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third-Party Claim.

(b) If Buyer conducts the negotiation, dispute or litigation in respect of any Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 10.7(a) above, Buyer shall ensure that the Sellers’ Representative is informed without undue delay of the developments in the matter, and that the Sellers’ Representative is provided with copies of any correspondence or documentary material relating to the negotiation, dispute or litigation.

(c) Notwithstanding the above, Seller(s) have no obligation to satisfy any Claim in respect of any Third-Party Claim before the matter is subject to a final settlement or a final non-appealable decision.

11. Post-closing obligations

11.1 Retiring directors

(a) Buyer shall procure that, promptly after Closing, the Group Companies notify the Finnish Patent and Registration Office regarding the resignations set out in Section 7.2(a)(viii) and the appointments and other resolutions set out in 7.2(a)(ix).

(b) At the next annual general meeting of the Company and each of the other Group Companies, Buyer undertakes to procure that the current directors of the Company and the other Group Companies who have resigned on or before the Closing Date are granted discharge from liability for their administration up to the Closing Date (or the earlier date of their resignation), save for situations where the director is guilty of fraud or willful misconduct, and provided that the respective auditors of the Company and the other Group Companies do not recommend against such discharge.

(c) Provided that the directors referred to above have been discharged from liability and subject to the statutory limitations of such discharge, Buyer undertakes not to make, and undertakes to procure that the Company and the other Group Companies do not make, any claims (other than for fraud, gross negligence or criminal acts) against directors of the Company and the other Group Companies in office prior to the Closing Date for their acts or omissions in their capacity as board members that took place on or before the Closing Date, save for situations where the director is guilty of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

11.2 Further assurance

Each Party shall and, in the case of a Seller, shall procure that any Affiliate(s) of such Seller shall, and, in the case of Buyer, shall procure that each member of Buyer’s Group shall, from time to time, before and after Closing, at its own cost, do, perform, sign and execute all such acts, documents and things (or procure the doing, performance, signing

37 (47)

or execution thereof) as the other Party may from time to time reasonably require, in a form and on terms satisfactory to the other Party (acting reasonably), to give full effect to this Agreement and to secure to the other Party the full benefit of the rights and remedies conferred upon it in this Agreement.

11.3 Access to books, records and documents

Buyer shall retain, and shall procure that the Group Companies retain, for a period of 10 years from Closing the books, records and documents of the Group Companies to the extent they relate to the period prior to the Closing Date, and shall allow, and shall procure that the Group Companies allow, Sellers reasonable access to such books, records and documents, including the right to take copies at the relevant Seller’s expense, in order to comply with any relevant Law, or in connection with the preparation and agreement of any accounting, tax or other records, or in connection with the conduct of any proceedings, suit or action against a Seller or a Seller’s Affiliate.

11.4 Non-competition and non-solicitation

(a) Tuomas Tenkanen, Jean de Gunzburg and Juha Kirveskari hereby undertake that he will not, and shall procure that his Affiliates will not, for a period of 36 months from the Closing Date, and Key Employees (other than Tuomas Tenkanen and Juha Kirveskari) hereby undertake that he/she/it will not, and shall procure that his/her/its Affiliates will not, for a period of 12 months from the Closing Date, in each case without the prior written consent of Buyer:

(i) directly or indirectly engage in any business competing with the Business (as it is conducted on the Closing Date) in such geographical territories where the Business is conducted, or contemplated by a Group Company to be conducted (Germany, Belgium and United States), on the Closing Date, provided that such Sellers shall not be prevented from acquiring or investing in a company or group of companies where the part of a business which competes with the Business is insignificant compared to the primary business of such a company or group of companies, provided that such business is not in direct material competition with the Business; or

(ii) employ, hire or solicit the employment or hiring of any employees who are employed by any of the Group Companies, except that Sellers shall not be precluded from hiring any employee who (i) responds to any public bona fide advertisement placed by the relevant Seller and which is not specifically targeted at any employee of the Group Company, or (ii) has been terminated by the Group Companies without cause at least 3 months prior to the commencement of employment discussions between the relevant Seller and such employee; or

(iii) solicit, cause, induce or encourage any client, customer, distributor supplier or licensor of a Group Company as at the Closing Date or any other person who has a business relationship with any Group Company as at the Closing Date, to terminate such relationship with the Group.

38 (47)

11.5 Contractual Clearances

(a) Key Seller(s) shall take, or shall procure the relevant Group Company to take, commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain contractual consents and clearances for the consummation of the Transaction, as required under the terms and conditions of the agreements listed in Schedule 11.5. Such reasonable best efforts include, without limitation, that Key Seller(s), or a Group Company representative, approaches each counterparty to the agreement (or its representatives), and requests for a written consent and waiver not to invoke any of the counterparty’s rights the counterparty may have in relation to, or as a result of, the Transaction.

(b) Key Sellers or the relevant Group Company, as applicable, shall seek to obtain such consents and waivers without undue delay after Signing and at the latest prior to the Closing Date. If a counterparty refuses to give its consent or a waiver, or proposes renegotiating the agreement, the Sellers’ Representative shall promptly notify Buyer thereof and the Parties shall in good faith negotiate and cooperate to resolve the matter in the best interest of the Group Company and in a manner satisfactory to Buyer, and in any case without limiting any obligation set out in Section 6.1. For the avoidance of doubt, Sellers shall not be liable for any Loss in case any such consents or waivers would not be obtained (unless Key Sellers have breached their obligation under Section 11.5(a)) and obtaining such consents or waivers shall not be a condition to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

11.6 Release

Effective as of the Closing, each Seller, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, irrevocably releases all claims of whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, which Seller or its Affiliates may have against the Group Companies, arising out of, based upon or resulting from any contract, transaction, failure to act or occurrence of any sort or type, and which occurred, existed, was taken, or begun prior to the Closing Date, except for any claims arising under this Agreement or any claims for compensation in the Ordinary Course of Business or in connection with a Seller’s employment, service or consultancy, if such Seller is an employee, in the service or consultant of a Group Company.
